Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Plastid, Plasmodium falciparum, Apicoplast, Genetics and Genome. In Plastid, Geoffrey I. McFadden works on issues like Nuclear gene, which are connected to Acyl carrier protein and Ribosomal protein. The various areas that Geoffrey I. McFadden examines in his Plasmodium falciparum study include Computational biology, Mitochondrion, Cell biology and Secretory pathway.

Geoffrey I. McFadden interconnects Apicoplasts, Transit Peptide and Signal peptide in the investigation of issues within Apicoplast. His work on Gene, Allele and genomic DNA as part of general Genetics research is frequently linked to Nicotiana alata and HindIII, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. Geoffrey I. McFadden combines subjects such as Proteome and Symbiogenesis with his study of Genome.

His most cited work include:

  • Genome sequence of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum (3623 citations)
  • Nuclear-encoded proteins target to the plastid in Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium falciparum (630 citations)
  • Tropical infectious diseases: metabolic maps and functions of the Plasmodium falciparum apicoplast. (497 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Plasmodium falciparum, Plastid, Apicoplast, Cell biology and Genetics. His Plasmodium falciparum research is classified as research in Malaria. His research integrates issues of Nuclear gene and Organelle in his study of Plastid.

His Apicoplast research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Apicoplasts and Signal peptide. The study incorporates disciplines such as Membrane protein and Protein targeting in addition to Cell biology. His study in Genome, Gene, Nucleomorph, Phylogenetics and Ribosomal RNA is done as part of Genetics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Plasmodium falciparum (30.96%)
  • Plastid (30.54%)
  • Apicoplast (29.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Apicoplast (29.71%)
  • Malaria (14.64%)
  • Plasmodium falciparum (30.96%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Apicoplast, Malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, Cell biology and Plasmodium berghei. His research on Apicoplast is centered around Plastid, Plasmodium, Biochemistry and Apicomplexa. The concepts of his Plastid study are interwoven with issues in Photosynthesis and Isopentenyl pyrophosphate.

Geoffrey I. McFadden has included themes like Anopheles, Genetics and Virology in his Plasmodium study. He performs integrative Plasmodium falciparum and Chelerythrine research in his work. His Cell biology study which covers Antigen presentation that intersects with Dendritic cell.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Functional Profiling of a Plasmodium Genome Reveals an Abundance of Essential Genes (260 citations)
  • The apicoplast: now you see it, now you don't (49 citations)
  • Comparative transcriptomics of female and male gametocytes in Plasmodium berghei and the evolution of sex in alveolates (43 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Geoffrey I. McFadden mostly deals with Plasmodium berghei, Cell biology, CD8, Cytotoxic T cell and Apicoplast. His Plasmodium berghei research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Extracellular, Genetics, Gene, Evolution of sexual reproduction and Red blood cell. His Cell biology research integrates issues from Vesicle and Cytoskeleton.

Geoffrey I. McFadden is doing genetic studies as part of his Biochemistry, Plastid, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium and Chloroplast and Apicoplast investigations. His studies in Plastid integrate themes in fields like Biogenesis, Doxycycline and Actinonin. His research in Plasmodium falciparum intersects with topics in Drug target, Computational biology, Mitochondrion and Drug resistance.
